Which 1962 book deserves to win our very own Booker? Man Booker Prize Literary Director Ion Trewin and a panel of judges - Sarah Churchwell, Katie Hickman, Sam Leith, Erica Wagner and Bidisha, debate the merits of James Baldwin’s Another Country, Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange, John le Carré’s A Murder of Quality, Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook and Edna O’Brien’s Girl with Green Eyes. The event will be introduced by John Coldstream.

All the 2012 shortlisted authors will be reading and discussing their work at this major event in London on the eve of the winner announcement. The event is chaired by broadcaster James Naughtie and will be followed by a signing.
